[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was in a similar situation, with my SAH husband not pulling his weight, while I was effectively handcuffed to a good paying job.

I would come home to Burgerking for the kids five nights a week, an unkempt house which was picked up but not clean, school work not being monitored, on and on.  I hired a housekeeper because I couldn't stand it.

After the kids left high school, I started charging my SAH husband rent and half of the bills.  I told him it didn't matter what he did, but this is what it cost.

It did ease my resentment quite a bit.  If I wanted the house clean, I cleaned it.  If I wanted a nice meal, I cooked it.  I also stopped funding dates.  If we did something nice, he could save up for it, otherwise I went by myself.

Strangely, lots of other parts of our life works for us.  We are both fairly moderate to high drive matched sex partners, We enjoy each other's company, and he is brilliant even if he is not traditional.

Anyway, that's what worked for us.  [/quote]
